Les Lions n'ont pas atteint le Paradis. L'ogre camerounais, vritable force de la nature, leur a barr la route de l'Eden. A l'ultime marche qui, franchie, aurait fait de cette aventure fabuleuse une histoire pour l'ternit. Une fantastique lgende d'une bande de joyeux drilles trempe dans l'eau de jouvence. Dommage ! Car cette bande de hros est si peu ne pour les dfaites magnifiques que sa mdaille d'argent s'accompagne aujourd'hui d'une certaine gueule de bois. Hier, on en rvait presque. Aujourd'hui, elle laisse  la bouche une saveur tirant vers l'cre. Dommage ! Mais c'tait le destin.</p> <p class="story-body">Pourtant, c'est pass tout prs. Tout prs du but. Comme ce penalty d'El Hadj Diouf, symbole de cette gnration  l'effronterie tourdissante, ne pour la gloire, ne surtout pour marquer l'histoire de son empreinte. Hier, ils se sont battus comme des Lions. Mais, ils n'taient pas indomptables. Ils ont simplement tutoy les dieux du continent, ces imposants Camerounais, avant de se rendre compte au finish qu'il manque encore quelques infimes millimtres  leur plante actuelle. Pourtant, qu'ils ont t grands et hroques dans leur lan cleste, ces Lions.</p>  <p class="story-body">Alors, au lendemain de cette finale perdue  la loterie, ils mritent que nous leur tirions notre chapeau et d'tre salus bien bas. Tous. Car l'histoire, les hros l'avaient crite bien avant cet acte final de la Can 2002. Pour avoir atteint au Mali la finale de Can, une premire pour le Sngal. Et pour avoir surtout russi, en demi-finale et devant un continent qui en est toujours bouche be,  accomplir l'impossible face aux Super Eagles du Nigeria. Hier, en fait, toutes les issues les maintenaient encore dans le magnifique.</p> <p class="story-body">Flicitations donc aux joueurs. Nous savions que, tous ensemble, ils n'avaient peut-tre pas plus de talent runi que certains de leurs devanciers sous le maillot du Sngal, n'en avaient eu auparavant. Mais, nous savions surtout qu'au cours de ces dernires saisons ils avaient assimil, dans les clubs professionnels trangers, cette si importante culture de la victoire qui faisait tant dfaut aux gnrations prcdentes. Ils y ont ensuite ajout un mental de fer et une volont de vaincre d'une extraordinaire intensit. Bravo, chers Lions et merci pour tout.</p> <p class="story-body">Flicitations aussi  Bruno Metsu qui,  sa manire, a accompagn cette quipe exceptionnelle jusqu'au plus haut niveau. Sa stature actuelle, ainsi que celle de son quipe, rappelle encore une fois qu'en matire de sport, il n'y a sans doute que le rsultat qui compte. Et le rsultat, c'est que Metsu et ses hommes, en suivant leur chemin sans trembler, ont fait ce que personne n'avait russi avant eux. Bravo.</p> <p class="story-body">Flicitations enfin au Sngal. Il a dcouvert, au cours de ces trois semaines de Can, que le football pouvait tre une occasion unique de tous se retrouver, o que l'on soit n ou quoi qu'on puisse penser par ailleurs, pour faire la fte. Le Sngal, dans l'union historique entre le peuple de culture sportive et le reste de la socit civile, a, durant trois semaines, sublim la marche chevaleresque de ses gande dans cette Can qui,  l'instar d'une Amy Mback Thiam, a aussi (et surtout) permis de rappeler que ce pays est une merveille et que l'on peut y faire de grandes choses.</p> <p class="story-body">Rien que pour cela, plus que l'acquis fabuleux du terrain, ces Lions mritent le Paradis.
